A big thank you from me and all the girls. For all of them it was their first time away on a trip without parents and they had an amazing time.

No drama and everything went like clockwork.

Coach: An excellent driver. He was able to advise us of times etc. The coach itself was perfect.

Hotel: The beds were fantastic and people are still raving about the showers. Having it just beside the stadium is also very handy. Overall the hotel was excellent.

Thanks, GTI, as always.
